All 9 guides →From the editor
This paper has one writer and one editor, and they are the same person. Every guide here comes from doing the thing myself in Finland — registering a company, sitting through Migri and Kela, finding a flat, opening a bank account — not from summarising other websites. Where a rule, a fee or a deadline is involved I link to the authority that sets it; where a page rests on my own experience, it says so.

When the guide is not enough
I registered a company here, dealt with Kela and Migri, rented a flat and opened a bank account before writing a word about any of it. If your case has a wrinkle the guides do not cover, book an hour and we will work through it together.
